Its true that we always didn't appreciates what we have as a normal human that we didn't miss out any single parts in life and will feel regret only when we lost it. I pity for those who born in that kind of conditions and respect their brave heart to faces all the challenges in life.

These people should be sources of insipiration to us who are physically complete. I think it is on the way we perceive or look at things. I believe that we need is optimism and total submission to God's plans for us.

A person would be more affected if he or she would happen something in the life , becomeing a handicapped . I am normal, but let`s say that I`ll loose my leg . Then , I will surelly eneer into a big depression thing . I`ll always remember that I used to do taht and that and so on . But for a people who is born with a handicapp , life is just boring (not always!!). I mean , that he suffer too , but he is used to his handicapp from his birth .

Hi swati.....definetly its loss. I have a sister she is not physically handicapped, but she can't have a control on her hands, legs, head movement, because her nervous system is not developed by birth. she controls her hand holding the other. She uses her uncontrolled movement of hand in art as paintings. Ofcourse you can say modern art. I am proud of my sister of not thinking that she is not normal. I think many in our country like politicians are mentally handicapped. I agree to your point that they feel the loss at the point of time...but someone caring for them they forget all the loss that really doesn't matter to them

In response to your discussion, I am disabled. I am not missing a leg or a hand and I can speak and hear. I need to remember things could be worse. Why was I blessed with bad discs in my back, I don't know.... I TRY to live life normally, I TRY not to think of all the mobility I have lost. I DO feel sorry for myself...too much I should be grateful for what I do have, but it is hard. I can not run with my kids, I can't play football with them or ride bikes or go hiking. I can love them and play board games with them, I do go shopping with them and they TAKE CARE OF ME. They get my wheelchair out of the van and then they take turns pushing me. (I can't walk for long before the pain gets so bad I have to sit) So..the answer to your question is the handicapped TRY to be as normal as possible, we TRY not to feel sorry for ourselves and we take one day at a time. My disability is bad discs in my back and after three surgeries on one disc it became brittle, now pieces break off and float around on the left side of my body bouncing off nerves causing crippling pain in my left leg, can't walk for long, sit for long, bend, stoop, crawl and sometimes it is so bad my 22 year old daughter has to dress me. My disorder is degenerative disc syndrome, and it will continue to get worse. Don't feel sorry for us, just help out when you can and be grateful for what you have. thanks for reading, Jean

It is general. Always longing for what is not with us. A person with headache says it is very paining comparing to other pains. A person with stomachache says it is very paining comparing to other pains. Like that each man`s persuasion differs according to the time and circumstance. Now that I have become physically handicapped losing one eye and one leg in partial, know the difference between those who have and those who donot have. But I am becoming more stubborn to face life inspite of. This is the true story of stubbornness where each long to live for.

You are absolutly right I really admire people with disabilities having zeal for life. We should definately learn from them.

i think thats really hard for a person to have such a life

It will be wrong if I commit on this topic, Cause I myself is a handicap person, having polio in my right leg. I would only like to say one thing, I'm greatfull to GOD that even though I have a lame leg he has made me capable to do all the thing that the normal person is doing. like dancing cycleing playing basket ball cricekt hockey and much more

I don't want to brag but I am partially blind.I have faced tremendous difficulties early in my life,but now I am doing extremely well academically and I am proud of it.The support of my parents has helped me a lot.Though my handicap has made me a very cynical person,I am otherwise fine with everything.

yeah true.. there r many problems these people face.. but whatever,, they have to carry on with their life

Very few people in our society who think about disable person,even i also never considered about the problems that a handicapped person face everyday up to 4 years ago.4 year ago due to a rail accident i lost my both legs and become handicapped i feel the problem such people face.though i am in govt.job therefor no financial problem arise before me but i know some people who suffers mainly financial prob beside other physical problem.even their family member does not support them.

tats y we have bibles , so it teaches us to b thksful every day and nite

I really wonder how do they survive...Its really painful to see them like that,,,then how does it feel being in their shoes.I really wonder how do they manage thing.Their lives are so difficult.I feel so bad.At these times when i see them I feel that the whole concept of almighty has gone off for a toss....why does lord wants anyone to suffer like that,,, Really wish that god makes eone physically capable....

it is really amzing how can they function like ordinary people, but i don't agree that we should be sad for them. they are handicapped physically, but in reality we are all handicapped deep inside. we are not perfect. physical attributes should not be the standard for strenght.

some handicapped people even succeed in life. if you have time you can read my one of my discussions entitled "you don't have to stand to kick a$$'". it tells about a friend of mine who has cerebral palsy. hope it inspires you. =)

Interesting post. I know, before developing a condition of my intestines, I took life for granted. Now I can never again practice my shotokan or even yoga. I can't bend, lift, or twist... but no matter how miserable I start to feel about myself, I realize how much worse so many other people have it. I smile, just now as I write this. Life is a blessing. Find a reason to smile every moment of it.

good

handicapped people should be brave........
